Jankowski, who played at a Canadian prep school in 2011-12, was picked by the Spirit in the seventh round of the OHL Draft in April.

The forward is committed to Providence College, and is considering playing in the USHL for Dubuque for a year before going to Providence.

But he's also a prospect for the June 22-23 NHL Draft. NHL Central Scouting has ranked him the 43rd-best North American skating prospect, and some scouting services have him rated with first-round potential.

And if the team that picks him thinks the OHL could be the best developmental route, he could end up in a Spirit uniform.

"Right now I'm not really looking at the OHL, but if the NHL team that drafts me thinks that that would be a good fit, then I'd take that into consideration," Jankowski told the radio show. "But right now I'm committed to Providence, so that's the route I want to go."

Jankowski is one of multiple college-committed players the Spirit are hoping will come to Saginaw next season. Cristoval Nieves, who is committed to Michigan, is another possible first-rounder whose OHL rights are owned by Saginaw. Spirit General Manager Jim Paliafito has also said he considers Michigan-committed goaltender Jared Rutledge a potential member of the Spirit.

"You just never know if one of those comes your way," Paliafito said in April.
